JanOctober 2015

Ideal location for traveling through area. Easy to find as just off main travel route. All facilities were as described. Host was friendly and welcoming. Would stay again.

Meryl was a beautiful lady in an exceptionally clean home with manicured lawns. Very quiet neighbourhood. Meryl was also exceptionally helpful with local knowledge. Anyone lucky enough to stay with Meryl will not be disappointed.

BruceJune 2016

Lovely cottage and Meryl was very welcoming. Continental breakfast in the conservatory was nice in the morning. The room on the small side but this is reflected in the cost and detailed in description. Would recommend!

RichardOctober 2015

Meryl was a great host and her house was lovely. Highly recommend her place for a weekend getaway from London!

MonicaAugust 2015

Lovely lady made me feel very welcome, very clean house in a quaint location. Would happily stay here again, local pub was great only wish I had time to have played skittles.

DanSeptember 2015

We stayed only one night in this beautyfull place. Bedroom as well as bathroom a little bit small. For a short stay however perfect. Everything was clean. After having dinner at FOX and Hounds, Meryl jointed us and we had a good and long conversation. I would like to recommend Meryl's place to others.

My place is good for couples, business travellers, and families (with kids).

Bryan and Kate were excellent hosts. Their home is beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed staying there. They were really helpful with ideas on local eateries and the continental breakfast in the sunny garden room was delightful. Thank you so much. Would highly recommend. Next time you're in Hove, you're welcome to stay at my place :-)

SophiaSeptember 2016

Bryan and Kate are fantastic hosts with brilliant communication! Very accommodating and helpful considering we changed check in several times! Glebe Cottage is very clean, warm and homely and in a lovely quiet location. The breakfast was superb, we thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you for letting us stay, we had a lovely time.

MatildaOctober 2016

We were made to feel very welcome during our stay at Glebe cottage. Bryan and Kate are excellent hosts and we felt they really enjoyed looking after us. Their home is in a very quiet village but is just 2 miles from Shaftesbury and we would not hesitate to stay there again. We particularly enjoyed the delicious breakfasts they provided, as well as the attention of their magnificent cat!

JuliaOctober 2016

Very hospitable couple and lovely breakfast. Room was just what we needed and good recommendation on where to eat in the area.

Although directly opposite the main house, it is quite private. High ceilings, french windows with country views, kingsize double bed, wood burning stove, oak dining table with candles, WIFI (not super fast or that strong), TV DVD player - everything you need for a comfortable weekend or longer stay. Parking directly next to the Barn. Well situated for visits to Bath, Salisbury, the Jurassic Coast, Gold Hill, the new Hauser & Wirth gallery/restaurant in Bruton, Longleat, and much more. Fantastic walking and cycling country.

We had a fantastic stay at the barn. It is a lovely cosy place to stay and set in beautiful surroundings. The pictures are accurate but probably don't quite do it justice, it really is gorgeous. The bed was really comfy and we had a great nights sleep. The kitchen was well equipt to cook meals. The whole barn was also very clean. We really appreciated the tea & milk Cara left for us after a long drive. The wine and fresh herbs were also much appreciated! I would definitely reccomend a weekend away here and hope we can come back next year!

CharlotteMay 2016

Had a lovely long weekend in this beautiful and very cosy barn! Cara and Stuart could not have made us more welcome. The perfect hide away for touring the surrounding area!

AaronMarch 2016

Cara and her husband Stuart (Stewart - sorry don't know which spelling), made our stay absolutely wonderful. They were simply lovely, kind and generous people who made us feel right at home. The barn is exactly how is looks in the photos and the countryside is even more beautiful. The log burning stove was an absolute treat and it felt very homely throughout. A great stay definitely. We will be back for sure.

jenniferFebruary 2015

We had the perfect stay at Cara & Stuart's lovely barn in September. There were really nice touches like biscuits and milk on our arrival, as well as a fire laid, ready to make the space warm & cosy. It was just what we needed - a comfortable and picturesque bolt hole to come back to after spending our afternoons at a festival nearby. Cara also gave us a box of their hens' delicious eggs - worth going back for just for those! Thank you for going that extra mile and enduring we had the perfect stay.

PollySeptember 2015

It was brilliant. Just what we were looking for. It's a great property in a great setting.

CoreyDecember 2014

We were made most welcome by Cara and had a thoroughly enjoyable stay.A lovely converted barn in a quiet country setting.Lots of places to visit and a good area for walking.Hope to visit again in the future.

christopherNovember 2014

Cara was a fantastic host! The barn is exactly as described and her instructions to get there were spot on! The perfect little get away! As mentioned, the barn is directly opposite the main house, however we were left completely alone and it still felt so private! They have an enchanting bluebell patch which was lovely to take a wander through too :-) Cara left us with some great recommendations of places to go to eat and visit nearby. The main reason for my stay was to visit Durdle Door which is only about an hour away (and was fantastic). Wardour castle was also a great find and that's about a 15/20 minute drive with great views! I would definitely recommend this place and hopefully will be visiting again in the future!

BhavishaMay 2016

We had a great stay at the barn and were made to feel very welcome by Cara and Stuart. A beautiful location, so peaceful and quiet but at the same time just a short drive to the nearby town of Shaftsbury. Cara was there to welcome us and provided some nice touches such as fresh milk, fruit and wine. Cara also provided us with some great recommendations for sigh seeing, walks, pubs and restaurants. The barn was great, spacious and cosy and the log burner is a nice touch. Thanks again for a great stay and I would recommend others to stay here if you want a nice peaceful break.

We had a lovely stay at apple hay studio, Jo was very helpful which made our stay easy and pleasant. The place was also very clean and tidy. The area was pretty and picturesque! We also had a great night with good food in the local pub across the road which had lovely locals and Labradors. I would recommend a stay to anyone how is looking for a weekend in the countryside.

CharlotteNovember 2014

Apple Hay Studio is a pretty little bungalow attached to hosts' house. Jo and Alan were very friendly and welcoming - chatty without being imposing, and generally lovely. The fridge was stocked with more than enough food for breakfast, which we enjoyed in the beautifully sunny garden. The house is small but easily big enough for two for a couple of nights. Overall incredibly good value and would definitely stay again!

rossAugust 2015

Applehay Studio is just the perfect place to stay for a couple of days or longer. The landscape is beautiful and the studio has so much flair and love in the detail that you feel welcome and comfy. We stayed just for 3 nights (3 adults plus a 4 month old baby) because of a weeding and would have stayed longer if it was possible. The little community store and coffee shop next door has everything needed and regional treats. There is a pub next door as well were you can get in local contact very easily and you don’t need to drive home. Jo and her husband were just a lovely and uncomplicated couple with a lot of passion and helpful regional information. If we visit this region again (probably we will), we will definitely book the applehay studio again.

ReaApril 2016

Jo and her husband greeted us on arrival and were extremely friendly and helpful. The studio is just gorgeous-clean, pretty and cosy with everything you need. Plus food for our first morning there which was a great touch. Lovely surroundings and Shaftesbury so close by. The village shop just 2 minutes down the road does great coffee and croissants too! Highly recommend and would love to go back again :)

BeckyAugust 2015

The apple hay studio is a lovely little place and perfect for our needs as a wedding party in the area looking for places to stay. With a change of plans last minute and our guest arriving much later than expected Jo was brilliant and hugely welcoming. Although very small the studio has everything you need for a cosy nights stay. Thank you

GeorginaAugust 2016

A wonderful cottage in a wonderful countryside with the wonderful hostess Jo. The cottage is cosy, very clean and well-equipped. And Jo provided all the things you need for (more than) a breakfast. She was always very helpful and gave us good recommendations for restaurants and places that are worth visiting. So there is nothing to complain - we highly recommend this place. Thanks Jo, for everything.

BerndJuly 2015

We were warmly greeted by our host, Jo, when we arrived and we were pleased that she kindly informed us of how everything operated before letting my partner and I get on with our weekend break. The studio was as described and more. My partner and I loved it, we loved that it was quiet, that it was secluded, and that the Applehay was perfect for our needs (just sad that we couldn't have stayed another day). I enjoyed my birthday weekend immensely and would certainly recommend anyone coming to stay to seriously consider it. I would certainly come back again. One more thing, Semley is lovely as well as the pubs. Although we came at the tail-end of winter, no doubt that it is even more beautiful in the summer. I would also recommend the village shop next door as they have some rather delicious food there!

DoritaMarch 2016

Apple hay studios was wonderful and I saw the New Year in in the most perfect setting. The studio is cosy, comfortable and has everything you could need. Semley is beautiful and has a number of attractions to see close by, I couldn't recommend it more and Jo was a brilliant host, giving us plenty of space but also on hand should we have needed her, which we didn't because she thought of everything! Will definitely be returning.

Wise Cottage is a 250 year old cottage with a boutique feel and sweeping views over fields, situated in a beautiful village near Shaftesbury, Dorset. There is use of the heated swimming pool in our garden a few yards from the cottage. ('well behaved' dog friendly!)
The cottage sleeps four, 2 bedrooms, 1 large master bedroom with a super kingsize bed and a small bedroom with adult bunks (plus a guest bed for a fifth guest).
Wood burner, super fast Wifi, heated swimming pool and garden.

There is a large sitting room with oak dining table and contemporary chairs, a well fitted kitchen with AEG washer/dryer, dishwasher and fridge/freezer.
The main bedroom has an upholstered Super kingsize bed with Vi Spring mattress, high quality microfibre duvets and bed linens. The second bedroom has full size bunk beds. Polished wooden floors, Roger Oates runners, sisal flooring and soft Moroccan rugs make up the flooring in the cottage. The bathroom has a pressurised shower and bath. Plenty of towels are provided as well as soaps and shampoo. The bathroom is situated downstairs opposite the kitchen.
The garden is situated up steps from the cottage, it is probably not easily accessed by anyone disabled or infirm. It is a cottage garden, not highly manicured but with wonderful views in every direction. There is a raised vegetable bed where salad leaves and vegetables can seasonally be picked. A table and chairs and a barbecue and tongs are also provided. There is a side access to the garden and it is fenced, so will contain a not overly ambitious dog.
The cottage has a new Samsung 32" smart TV, super fast broad band, a small office with desk. Mobile reception is good, but patchy in the downstairs rooms.
There is a wood burner and logs (extra logs can be supplied), iPod dock, Roberts radio, smart TV, fluffy towels, high quality linen, bathrobes, shampoo and soap.
The kitchen is fully equipped with all china and cutlery, pans, casserole dishes, salad bowls, a Nespresso coffee maker (with coffee capsules!) and there is a supply of tea bags, coffee, sugar, olive oil and salt and pepper to start you off. We always leave a breakfast pack of fresh local bread, home made jam, butter and milk.
A folding guest bed can be put up in the sitting room for a fifth person which is fine for a night or two, but unless a child, it is not ideally suited for five adults.
The whole cottage and garden is available for your use. There is also use of the heated swimming pool in summer, situated within 100 yards of the cottage at the top of our own garden with spectacular views (our own house is at the bottom of the garden and so the pool is immensely private). Obviously children must be supervised at all times by adults. The pool will be closed from early October until June as it is not possible to heat once the air temperature drops.
We live very nearby and are on hand to help and advise much of the time. We will meet you on arrival and introduce you to the property (or we will leave the key in a designated place for you and come and see you later, depending on your arrival time). We are able to provide a hot meal on arrival and have it waiting for you in the oven, or completely stock your fridge for you - please talk to us about this at the time of booking (we can provide you with a menu of home cooked dishes to choose from, from around £22 for a family of four.

There is parking for one car just up the road from the cottage. There is a pull in in front of the cottage for unloading the car on arrival and departure.
Tisbury train station is 7 miles away and Gillingham train station is 5 miles. Travel time from London is around 1 hour 50 minutes. We can organise a taxi to collect you from a train station if you are not coming by car (plenty of notice please as country taxis are few and far between!)
There is a taxi service and an intermittent village bus, but a car really is required!
A continental breakfast is always left at the cottage - fresh bread, butter, jam, milk, tea, coffee and sugar.
We offer a meal service. Home cooked meals can be ordered, such as chicken curry, lasagne, cottage pie and can be left warming in the oven for your arrival. We can stock the fridge in advance of your arrival, take in a Waitrose or Tesco order. We can provide any wines that you would like to preorder. We can organise baby sitting, dog walking - anything to make your stay easier and more enjoyable. Please do discuss at any time up until three days before arrival.
The cottage has a winding staircase and there are steps up to the garden, so it is perhaps not suitable for anyone very infirm. Very young children will need to be watched on the stairs and on the ramp up to the garden.
There is a folder at the cottage with information on the numerous places there are to visit in the area and further afield.
We can provide a cot and a high chair (cost £9 each for whole period of stay).
We can put up a folding guest bed in the sitting room for a fifth person, but the cottage is ideally suited for four people.

We stayed in this beautiful, cosy cottage for the weekend. The cottage is well thought out with everything you might need from Netflix, a roaring fire (which coco our dog was very happy to curl up in front of) and very tasty homemade jam! Lovely local walks - we would recommend paying a visit to the Pythouse for lunch or dinner! All in all perfect for a relaxing weekend away from it all, would definitely go back!

BenNovember 2016

We had a lovely relaxing 2 night stay at the cottage. A welcoming log fire burning away upon arrival was just what we needed on a cold day. The heaters in the cottage eventually took the chill off after a couple of hours after our arrival. The bed in the main bedroom is very comfortable and bedding crisp and white. The staircase and upper floor are slightly uneven as you would expect in a place of this age, but all in all a lovely cottage furnished and decorated beautifully. Vanessa, the owner was very helpful and responsive to our requests and questions. Lastly, the village shop is amazing - not your average village shop!!

ToniNovember 2016

The cottage was so cosy and relaxing. We loved lighting the wood burner and relaxing in the lounge. The bedrooms upstairs were equally cosy and our daughter loved sleeping in her bunk bed. The cottage is beautifully decorated throughout. We enjoyed walking the little lanes around the village. An ideal autumn break!

AlexOctober 2016

This cottage was incredibly beautiful, well kept, and accommodated. The grounds are wonderfully gardened, the yard is lovely and looks out over a field with horses. The beds are extremely comfortable with nice sheets and down blankets. The shower is luxurious and the kitchen is very well outfitted. For a small extra fee you can have a hot meal waiting, and there was a great load of bread and jam with butter waiting for us when we arrived. The little town is adorable and there is a small community run market with local produce, baked goods, and snacks.

BuckSeptember 2016

A lovely cottage, great location and neighborhood, lovely accommodation with great hosts, Vanessa and Bruce who are super helpful. We really enjoyed our stay on the bank holiday weekend, everything was perfect including the weather, Our children spent most of their time playing in the swimming pool. Great antidote for Londoners in search of peace, quite and friendly people...highly recommended.

SheilaJune 2016

Vanessa met us upon arrival and was available throughout our stay.The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped .

LINDAAugust 2016

We stayed here for our honeymoon and it was perfect. Beautiful location, lovely cottage with comfortable furniture. The host was very welcoming and we would definitely come back!

MichelleSeptember 2016

We loved our stay at Vanessas cottage! The cottage is unique and I totally fell in love with it. It is beautifully furnished with much attention to detail as fine bed linens, cosy towels, organic shampoo, original art, washing mashine & dryer, beautiful textiles and carpets ... The master bedroom is so spacious, that you really like to spend time and the bed is great with a super matress which is a big plus! The living room is cosy and made us four comfortable to read, chat, play games, eat dinner, watch TV .. Kitchen and bathroom are downstairs and equipped with all modern amenities. The pool is perfect and just a few steps away from the house. Vanessa and Bruce were always at hand to help with anything that might occur and we enjoyed to get to know them during our stay. There are many things to explore as the region is beautiful, but we also very much enjoyed to stay in the cottage as it has a beautiful garden and view. Couldn't have been a better choice! Looking forward to returning asap! Thank you Vanessa and Bruce

There are two rooms - so shared hallway/stairs. The ground floor is used by a physiotherapist several days a week.

This was our first experience of Airbnb and it won't be the last. Paul was very welcoming and personable, the room was super clean and the bed really comfortable. I decided to have the continental breakfast and I'm so glad I (URL HIDDEN) was scrummy

Lovely peaceful location, with comfortable room. Paul was a welcoming and helpful host

What a lovely place to live. Belinda was very accommodating and a wonderful host. The house was very clean and uncluttered! Me and my partner really enjoyed it here! The breakfasts also very good and extremely healthy! A wonderful get away and a very comfy bed!

Belinda was a great host. The cottage is beautiful and incredibly well designed and styled internally. Everything is on hand for a good nights stay. Breakfast was delicious and wholesome. We thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet of this pretty spot.

RosieAugust 2016

Belinda's welcome and her house could not have been better - thank you for letting me stay.

Belinda was the perfect host in such an idylic setting. A secret hideaway in a beautiful village. Her house is beautifully designed and leaves you feeling rested and calm. The perfect tonic to a weekend away in the country Thanks Belinda....hopefully we can visit again

SarahJuly 2015

Belinda is a kind and generous host. We felt warmly welcomed in her beautiful home. Her home is a gentle feast for the eyes and soul, full of beauty and stillness. Nicky and I had some much needed rest and relaxation and the surroundings both inside the house and the garden were very nourishing. Finally, Belinda's breakfast is out of this world delicious! An inspiration. Thank you Belinda

GeorginaSeptember 2015

Words cannot really describe our experience with Belinda- but magical, peaceful and calming spring to mind. Belinda's home is a very special place where you feel at ease with yourself and you begin to relax and become more mindful. The cottage is beautifully decorated with the most simplistic of decor and the vintage roll top bath is the perfect place to unwind. Belinda herself, is a lovely, gentle person who makes you feel very welcome as soon as you set foot into the stone wonder of her cottage...and as for the breakfast...well I shall leave others intrigued, as breakfast is amazing and homemade. We loved the Bircher muesli and scrambled tofu. We absolutely love this place and have already booked our next visit! You must also visit the Beggars Banquet Cafe in nearby Shaftesbury...beautiful food.

SharonSeptember 2015

What a find! A beautiful, two bedroomed stone cottage in a very pretty part of the country. Belinda is a delightful hostess who made our stay very pleasant. The cottage is simply decorated & furnished but very comfortable nonetheless. Finally, the breakfast is varied, tasty & plentiful. HIghly recommended.

SimonJune 2015

This is a great place to stay. Belinda is a very welcoming host and the cottage has been tastefully refurbished to a high standard with natural materials. The breakfast is good, and the tea and toast is high quality.

The Cottage is down a long private drive, has plenty of parking. The main bedroom has a good quality new Kingsize bed, cosy 2nd bedroom with single or twin beds, private garden has paved terrace and plenty of shade. Washing machine, dishwasher, microwave. Good quality sheets and towels provided, both bedrooms have blackout blinds. I leave bread, milk, juice, eggs, jam, tea and coffee for guests when they arrive.
The Cottage can be taken as 1 or 2 bedrooms.
All weather tennis court
Am on hand if help or information is required.

Shaftesbury is a charming Saxon hilltop town, home of 'Gold Hill' used in the original Hovis advert, with its museum and garden. Shaftesbury Abbey, Arts centre and numerous independent shops are worth a visit.
There are many excellent pubs and places to eat in Shaftesbury and in the surrounding villages.
No
The Cottage has wifi via a portable device, it is adequate for moderate use but not serious internet enthusiasts!

Mary-Anne was promptly on time and met us just outside the property. She and her son gave us a tour and advise around key amenities, places of interest. The cottage is very uniquely placed and is private.

TanmoyJuly 2016

My husband, daughter and I have just had the most wonderful weekend in Mary-Anne's beautiful cottage. From the moment we arrived to a warm welcome from Mary-Anne, we totally relaxed. The cottage is stunning and so is it's location. We all loved the array of animals around and my husband especially loved the log burner and yummy goodies that were provided! The kitchen had everything we needed and the beds were lovely and comfortable. A wonderful place to stay and a great base to explore the fantastic Dorset and Wiltshire countryside. We will definitely be back. Many thanks.

Mary-Anne's cottage was absolutely lovely. It was so wonderful to stay in such a charming location, and we appreciated the bread, jam, coffee and tea you provided for us. I would definitely recommend this cottage for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

LauraAugust 2016

Lovely property, nice and secluded with great views over the countryside. Well positioned to see the sights of Dorset and beyond.

NickSeptember 2016

This was my first experience of staying through Airbnb. From the minute we booked to the minute we left, our experience was faultless. On arrival we received a very warm welcome by our host (as did our dog) and we were provided with plenty of information on local eateries and interesting walks to enjoy. The cows came to welcome us too, right outside our back door! The house is very tastefully decorated and comfortable. Unexpectedly we were provided with local produce to enjoy at breakfast. All in all a wonderful experience (Thank You Marie-Anne) and one I would thoroughly recommend. Wish we could have stayed longer.

JaneSeptember 2016

What a lovely house, host and location. We were very comfortable, with everything we needed for a weekend of relaxation. The house was spotless, amazing views and stunning walks - perfect!

Clive & Sarah-JaneSeptember 2016

Mary-Anne was very welcoming and extremely helpful, she recommended a fantastic Indian restaurant and a first class gastro-pub. The cottage itself was immaculate and beautifully located. The welcome pack of basic provisions was a nice touch and very well received. The bed linen was indeed top quality which added a five star touch to our stay. We would definitely recommend the cottage to other Airbnb customers.

Superking 'suite' on top (2nd) floor + bath + A1 cont. breakfast. In quiet village on Dorset/Wiltshire border in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Exclusive use of shower 1st floor (if no other guests). Use of drawing room with Freeview TV, CD + DVD library.
Room can fit a full sized 'Z' bed. Twin bedroom plus double sofa bed in separate room also available. Whole house available by special request. Sleeps 9 in total.
Discounts for single occupancy and more than one night stay.

A large bedroom in a four bedroomed, extended Victorian cottage/townhouse in a very pretty village, moments from the historic and very pretty town of Shaftesbury. A superking bed and private bathroom with bath. Great views over garden and landscaped countryside.
Bedroom on second floor via stairs (a couple a bit dodgy); same floor bathroom with loo, bath and basin; 'shared' shower in 1st floor bathroom; use of living room on ground floor with Freeview TV and wireless internet. Not suitable for wheelchair users, very elderly people or those with major breathing problems.
I will interact as much as suits you.
This is my home and I live and work from here. I am based in the large kitchen (with TV) so we can be very separate if that's what you want. You can have the top floor, and the drawing room to relax in of an evening alone. Breakfast can served in the Drawing Room, Garden Room.
OR we can be more friendly. You can have breakfast in the kitchen with me around, have a late night snifter or bedtime tea when you come in etc.. You are most welcome in the heart of the house - if that would suit you. It's what suits most of my guests but obviously not everyone.
I am naturally a chatty, friendly person who loves to meet new people so I'd prefer to have similarly open and friendly relations with the people staying with me.
I love to cook and have a pretty wide international repertoire. I cook fresh food for myself every night when I am in (often) so, if you want lunch or supper, and I am in and cooking, we can chat about the menu and cost separately if you would prefer to eat in, rather than go out to supper.

Semley is a beautiful, friendly and thriving village, off the main roads and tucked away in a designated 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty', five minutes from the famous ancient Saxon, hill-top town of Shaftesbury.
The views are fabulous, the village is great (amazing shop and good pub all within a few 100 yards) and Shaftesbury, Tisbury, Salisbury, Stonehenge, Avebury, Wells, Bath, Bristol, Glastonbury, Sherborne and even the coast are within less than an hour's drive.
Semley is also the antiques centre of the area (in Station Road) and is now becoming a major axis between two new major contemporary art galleries Hauser & Wirth in Bruton (35 mins drive) and Messum's in Tisbury (10 mins drive).
It is also surrounded by amazing National Trust and English Heritage properties,
You need a car, bike or a motorbike here unless you simply want to walk around the village. Public transport locally is atrocious. Taxis are rare and difficult to book. Trains at Tisbury (6 miles), Gillingham (8 miles) - the Waterloo to Exeter St David's line - and at Westbury (30 mins), a Paddington to Bristol line. I can collect/drop at local stations for a small fee if agreed in advance.
Two bikes can be kept safe in the lockable garden shed. Motorbikes won't fit in the shed but can be chained to metal, cemented-in posts under the carport. Parking for up to three cars in the drive and free parking along the "track".

Rosie made us very welcome along with lottie and pickle.. They were real characters.. (the dogs). Lovely peaceful surroundings.. Very clean and comfortable home... Fresh croissants and home made preserves were a perfect start after a good night's sleep. Would definitely stay again. 4 star (easy) Thanks Rosie..

A large, light, peaceful attic bedroom with double bed (plus single) with private bathroom and breakfast area. Country views in a lovely village with pub serving food/local ales and shop/cafe. Great base for Longleat, Stonehenge, Stourhead, and more.

You'll always receive a warm welcome. A continental style breakfast willl be brought up to your room with the option of eggs (boiled, poached, srambled or fried). We are always on hand to help whether you need to know the best places to explore or eat out and walk books and maps can be borrowed.

Wi-Fi is available. Due to our broadband usage limit, please download any feature films to your devices before your stay. There is a TV in the room but it is not yet connected to the aerial.

A lovely place with lovely hosts! We only stayed the one night, but felt very welcome. The room was very comfortable, and being on the top floor, in the eaves, gives it a nice charm. Our hosts had plenty of advice for things to do and see in the area, though we couldn't take advantage this time. Would most definitely stay again, especially for a sightseeing trip, and have our hearts melted by Myrtle the dog once more.

DrumSeptember 2016

Deborah was absolutely fantastic and provided a comfortable, cosy and calming place to enjoy the beautiful countryside. Deborah helped us organise a place to eat after our late arrival and was kind enough to prepare some delicious breakfasts during our stay. The house was really lovely, and the room was large and very comfortable. We'd love to go back!

TerresaSeptember 2016

We had a wonderful stay with Debby and her lovely family. I can not sing her praises more highly (one of my best airbnb experiences). The room was fabulous , comfy and secluded with its own ensuite and small breakfast area at the top of the house. Idyllic views across the countryside where we were served a great breakfast every morning . Nothing was too much for them and we felt very welcome and relaxed. Highly recommended , we can't wait to go back to the peace and quite .

JuliaAugust 2016

The loft conversion was very cosy and very quiet. Everything you need is provided, on top of that we were welcomed with a great smile. We were able to come back late from the party and had a sleep in. All very flexible and comfortable.

KarineJuly 2016

Awesome little place in semley. Perfect for our quick turnaround before the wedding we went to in the village and great comfortable bed and breakfast afterwards. The hosts are wonderful and couldn't be more helpful. Thanks again!

BrionyMay 2016

Deborah made us feel very welcome. It was easy to find and matched the description well. The area it was in was beautiful and peaceful.

JuliaMay 2016

Wonderful stay with a warm and welcoming family. The hosts were incredibly helpful and gave us advice on nearby walks and places to eat. Fantastic nights sleep, complete silence and with blackout blinds and a very comfy bed. Breakfast was delicious and brought to us in the morning where we ate at our own private table with beautiful views of the countryside. Everything was spotless and high quality and we had everything we could possibly need. Having an entire floor of the house to ourselves made our stay feel private but our friendly hosts also made us feel very welcome in their home. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends.

MaxMay 2016

Lovely home, beautiful location, gorgeous views. We were made to feel very welcome and it's a great spot for exploring a great part of the country. We'd recommend the Pythouse Kitchen Garden for lunch and had a tasty dinner at the Royal Oak in swallowcliffe.

Paul was very accommodating and informative. The room was lovely calm and peaceful,the bed comfortable and a good hot shower. Breakfast was plentiful and brought to our room on a tray. Having the cafe downstairs is an added bonus . A beautiful part of the world to stay. Thank you Paul we will be back.

Paul was there to greet us on our arrival. The room was in a very pretty village and easy to find. The room was immaculate, spacious, light and airy with everything thing you could need. Good quality and big towels that actually fit your body, comfortable bed and a peaceful nights sleep. Excellent value for money would definitely stay again. Only one thing missing for us ladies a long mirror.

Paul was absolutely a fantastic host - very responsive, super helpful, not obtrusive but came forward with advice when we needed it!

SuzMay 2016

We had a lovely stay at East Knoyle B&B. The pictures don't do this room justice - it was larger than expected with lots of natural light. Incredibly comfortable bed with fluffy pillows and bedding. The en suite is modern and clean with a shower cabin, toilet, sink and good mirror. Coffee/tea facilities, fresh milk and filtered water were waiting on arrival. Highly recommended for a lovely, quiet country stay with easy driving access to nearby villages, pubs and nature. Plus points for the off road parking and easy check-out!

We had a lovely stay at Seymour house on our way to Devon. The room was very comfy, the bathroom modern, clean and shiny and the breakfast was particularly nice. It was delivered to the door so you can eat breakfast before being ready to face the world! Paul was very helpful and a great host. Beware.......if you book to eat at the fox and hounds allow yourself plenty of time to walk there! It's a long uphill trek!

Its been a great 2 nights of stay @ the Beehouse wonderful experience and warmly welcomed by Judi and her Husband really helpful and made sure we are fully satisfied and had the best of memories.The house is fully equipped with all essentials and absolutely made us feel really comfortable and relaxed.The view outside is so beautiful and surroundings of nature is tremendous and stunning look of the countryside.Its one of best places we have visited in recent times and superb facilities for all neccesities. This will be recommended to all my friends and family to visit soon and have best of relaxed moments and enjoy the tour.

MOHAMEDJune 2015

A wonderful place to stay for us and our two young children. Spotless, well equipped home from home. Highly recommend. Thank you Judi.

ricoAugust 2015

I'm so pleased we found The Beehouse, we had a wonderful stay and would love to return. It is easily the best equipped place I've stayed at; plenty of kitchen equipment, a brilliant collection of toys, lots of towels. Our children loved playing outside on the verandah and in the garden and we loved sitting and watching the amazing sunsets. Judi and Anders were friendly and helpful and their cat made a few visits us which pleased the children immensely. Would thoroughly recommend the Beehouse.

EllieApril 2016

Judi was fabulous and very helpful. We arrived at an unsociable hour but she was there to help and assist. She was more than happy to provide us with some of her own home made jam with bread as we'd arrived passed shop hours and were departing at an early hour for Glastonbury Festival. The house is beautiful and is set in such a stunning location. We were all extremely gutted we couldn't stay for longer as it was a flying visit. p.s Must watch the Sunrise

SteJuly 2015

What a view! We had a lovely, if all too brief visit to the Beehouse a couple of weeks ago. We were well looked after, including posting back a lost fit-bit band! The only thing Judi could not organise was better weather. Definitely. Will go back for a longer stay.

StevenSeptember 2016

It was more then what was promise, we will love to come back.

Hi we stayed for a long weekend with several friends and kids and we all enjoyed it immensely... the garden is gorgeous and the house very comfortable. Constance was really helpful especially with high-chair etc for the kids. There were lots of toys and books which was great. Local area lovely, went to the walled garden nearby (20 min walk) and a couple of local pubs, all good. Will be going again for sure.

KirstyJuly 2014

As a group of friends we had a lovely stay at this idyllic and characterful cottage. it is in a beautiful setting with a lovely garden. The beds were comfortable and everything worked. Good pubs nearby. It has a relaxing feel which we all benefitted from. Thanks so much. We would like to return.

kathrynMay 2015

I had a great time at Semley. The generously sized cottage was warm and well furnished. It struck the right balance between secluded privacy and proximity to shops. Constance provided a wealth of recommendations and information regarding what to do in the local vicinity. Highly recommend for anyone looking for the idyllic cottage stay in the countryside.

ChristopherApril 2014

Idyllic location. This is the place to be if you want to visit the English countryside, nice people, great antiques, phenomenal walks and heritage galore! Dibbens is a typical english cottage, creaky floors, low roof and loads of charm. Costance was very responsive via email (could not reach her over the phone), and the information available for the cottage and the surrounding areas is ample and clear. Nice, and thinking of coming back!

What a great place. So much personality and a beautiful location. Could not get enough of the wonderful garden. Well set up, spacious bedrooms and plenty of room to be together in the sitting room upstairs. Had two small children with us and 4 adults. Perfect location to get away from the cities but close to many attractions! Nearby pub was great, very friendly people. A very homey place!

rhiannonJune 2014

We had a great time staying in at the cottage in preparation for my wedding nearby. Constance was very helpful in the run up to our stay and replied quickly. The beds were all made up on arrival and the rest of my family stayed on for a little longer to make the most of the stay. Thank you Constance for having us to stay - it certainly made things a lot easier for us!

Our suite of 2 rooms is ideally located to explore Dorset and surrounding areas which are jam-packed with history and great views. Take a walk along the Jurassic coast, take in the sights of Stonehenge or the gardens of Stourhead. Longleat safari park is well worth a visit and Salisbury with it's spectacular Cathedral is only half an hour away. Or you could just use us as a base for a relaxing time. Shaftesbury is a Saxon hill top town famous for it's Gold Hill and connections to King Alfred.

Number 16 has a suite of one double and one twin room on the top floor available for one to four guests with exclusive bathroom. Ideal for families or friends on holiday together (cot available). Rooms are well equipped with comfortable, new beds. Because quality counts, we only use 100% Egyptian cotton bed linen. T.V. in each room as well as coffee, tea making facilities. SPRING OFFER 25% off 1st March to 15th May.
Guest have full access to the top floor of the three storey house. You will also be able to use the dining room at anytime which is situated on the ground floor. For example, if you wanted to bring in a take-a-way we are happy to provide the necessary plates etc., on request but we do ask you not to take meals up to your rooms.
Having had many years of running a B and B, Brian and I really enjoy meeting new people and making their stay a special experience. We have lived in the area for over 30 years and love sharing our local knowledge.

The house is situated on the edge of Shaftesbury in a small, modern development, but it is only a 10-15 minute walk into town. It is a peaceful community and feels very safe at night. The back of the house overlooks playing fields and no rooms are overlooked. There are plenty of places to eat from cafes and pubs to smart hotels. There is a very good fish and chip shop within walking distance as well as other take-a-ways.
Shaftesbury has plenty of public bus routes and the nearby town of Gillingham has a train station. The area is most conveniently discovered by car.
You will be given a choice for your breakfast the night before so it can be freshly prepared for you. Produce is homemade and/or locally sourced; for example the flour for our homemade bread comes Cann Mill just 2 miles from Shaftesbury. There are cafetieres and freshly ground coffee, as well as tea, in the bedrooms and as we hate UHT, fresh milk is provided.

A lovely comfortable home with a very tasty breakfast and a fab host. Such a great base to explore the beautiful local countryside.

Amazing hosts, very welcoming and have a lovely house. Had great conversation with both Johnathan and Dina, they recommended nice places for me to visit. Definitely a place to stay when in the area!
